Master Bedroom

Decorating Continued...here is the Master Bedroom. I apologize in advance for the not so great quality of pictures. It wasn't the best light...but hey, as a momma of two, I'm lucky to even have a blog, forget the perfect pictures! :)

My theme in decorating right now is NO CLUTTER and using things I really like, not just the cheapest thing on the rack. I have a few more things I would like to get for this room, but I'll just wait until I see something that really grabs my attention.

My absolute favorite show right now is Sarah's House on HGTV. It comes on Friday and Saturday nights (not sure what time...thank you DVR!). It is only 30 minutes, so once I fast forward the commercials, I can squeeze in an episode pretty easily. Each season she renovates a house and each episode is focused on one room. I love it b/c you see the end product in the same episode. I love her style and wish I had time to stroll through antique stores and auctions to find great deals like she does! She would so not approve of my bedroom design b/c it is all a set and it is all new, but we like it.

Love that blue bowl from Pier 1!!
This is the notorious Pottery Barn lamp! I knew I wanted white lamps in our room. Why oh why did I want white lamps?? They are not easy to find!! I saw these online from Pottery Barn Teen and loved them. I debated forever b/c they were a little pricey and finally decided to get them. I thought I could find simple shades cheaper, so I just got the lamps. Three weeks later after searching EVERY store in Watertown and looking all over the internet, I bought the lamp shades too...at Chad's insistence b/c he was tired of my shopping for lamp shades! I LOVE these lamps though!
Buying a duvet was similar to buying the lamps - lots of buying and returning. One day Addison said, "Mom are you a duvet collector?" ha! If you want a duvet to fit well on a queen size bed, you have to get a king size duvet - thank you Krista! I ended up getting this one online from Macy's - regular $360, I paid - $69!!! The cover and pillow set are from Pottery Barn too. I know you pay for the name Pottery Barn, but I love their stuff b/c it is so simple and timeless. I love the look, but am already doubting my choice of white every time Addison crawls onto our bed!

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...

Change of Command

Here are a few pictures from Chad's Change of Command Ceremony. I hope to get more pictures from the official photographer that day. I didn't get any pictures of myself and my White House Black Market dress! :) The Food... Chad and I aren't huge fans of cake, so we got a cookie cake instead from a local bakery. I wish I had taken a picture of the entire table, but I only at time for a few pictures. Everyone was pretty impressed with the spread. My mom taught me how to prepare lots and lots of food and how to make it tasty! Addison kept snagging food before the ceremony started! C-Troop Taking Command! So proud of Chad! We look forward to serving with the Outcast family!

Lake Placid

Over Columbus Day, we decided to take advantage of the time for one more family trip before the deployment. Lake Placid has been on our list of places we wanted to go and we chose to wait until the fall to enjoy seeing all the leaves changing in the Adirondacks. The leaves were a little past peak, but it was still beautiful.  To understand how much we enjoyed this trip, you have to understand how much we enjoy the Olympics.  Let's just say we are Olympic fanatics...the Atwells would understand. :)  On our way in to town, we stopped had lunch at a recommended BBQ place. That afternoon, we only had time to go to one venue before they closed for the day.  If you don't know the history, Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 and is still a site for Olympic training.  First stop - Bobsled, Combination Track   You can pay to ride down the 1932 bobsled course.  It looked fun! After the Bobsled track, we headed back to the hotel and ...
